Peggy’s Picks Premiers
Recently, a HIF-net member from the World Bank asked the group where she could find online communities and lists covering public health and health systems in developing countries.
She received great suggestions and I’d like to pass them on here.
Reproductive Health Gateway Listservs are a good place to start, especially if you are looking for reproductive health-focused communities. Reproductive Health Gateway itself has a good list of electronic newsletters as well.
Another great starting point is the Communication Initiative. Its weekly Drum Beat newsletter covers communications in the context of development and also features an extensive global jobs listings.
For an African perspective, try Pambazuka News or Soul Beat. Pambazuka is published each Thursday and is an advocacy tool for social justice. Soul Beat is published monthly by the Communication Initiative and is focused on communication in Africa.
If you have other suggestions, we would love to have you post them on the blog.

Thanks for the plug for Pambazuka News. However, why ‘Soul Beat Pambazuka’? Pambazuka News has no relationship with Soul Beat.
